Woman with a cross & Botox needle marks: Please stop the fake outrage over Trump posting the Obamas as apes video

Deadline
@DEADLINE
Karoline Leavitt has defended an apparently AI-generated clip portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes shared on Donald Trump‘s Truth Social account.

In a statement sent to Deadline, the White House Press Secretary said: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Overnight, the U.S. president’s verified account twice posted a minute-long video about voting machine anomolies, which features the http://PatriotNewsOutlet.com watermark. In the final moments of the video, a two-second clip flashes up showing the Obamas as apes, dancing in a jungle setting to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”
